Don't wait until March to start planning your garden! Garden planning season in the Blue Ridge Mountains is now.
Learn everything you need to know to get amazing harvests in our unique climate.
You've watched the YouTube videos. You've read the gardening blogs. Maybe you followed the planting calendar that worked for millions of people.
Or maybe you're brand new to gardening and you're trying to figure out where to even start.
Either way, you're discovering the same frustrating truth: generic gardening advice doesn't work in Northeast Tennessee.
Maybe you moved here from California, Florida, or New York and everything you knew about gardening doesn't apply in the mountains. Or maybe you're a complete beginner drowning in conflicting information—some guru says to plant in March, another says May, and you have no idea which advice is right for OUR climate. Or maybe you've tried gardening here and watched your plants struggle while your neighbor's garden thrives.
Here's what nobody tells you until it's too late:
Northeast Tennessee has a unique climate that makes generic gardening advice useless—and sometimes harmful. Our heavy clay soil, dramatic elevation changes, unpredictable late frosts, and humid summers require completely different strategies than what works in other regions.
The result? Wasted money. Wasted time. Confusion about what to do. And the frustration of not knowing if you're even starting in the right direction.
What if this spring could be different?
Imagine walking out to your garden and seeing healthy plants loaded with vegetables. Tomatoes that actually produce. Lettuce that doesn't bolt in the heat. Soil that drains properly because you finally know what amendments work in our clay.
Imagine harvesting fresh vegetables from early spring through late fall—and even into winter. Not because you're working harder, but because you finally know what works HERE.
That's exactly what this workshop will teach you.
In This Workshop, You'll Discover:
What actually grows well in our challenging clay soil — skip the trial and error and plant varieties that thrive here from day one
Exact planting dates for YOUR elevation — because Johnson City and Boone have completely different frost dates, and generic calendars get it wrong
Which soil amendments actually work in our region — stop throwing money at products that don't fix our clay
How to extend your harvest from early spring to late fall (and beyond) — enjoy fresh vegetables nearly year-round
Garden planning strategies that set you up for success — get the setup right from the start so everything is easier from now on
How to manage weeds and pests without constant battles — work smarter, not harder
How to create a garden that's beautiful AND productive — no more choosing between aesthetics and abundance
Answers to YOUR specific gardening challenges — live Q&A means you get real direction for your exact situation
Why This Workshop Is Different
I'm Candace, and I've been gardening in the Tri-Cities area for over a decade. I've made every mistake you can imagine—and figured out what actually works through years of trial and error in this exact climate.
This workshop isn't generic advice from someone in a different climate. It's practical, tested strategies specifically for Northeast Tennessee, East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and Southwest Virginia.
You'll benefit from my decade of experience so you don't have to waste years figuring it out yourself. No vague tips. No conflicting information. Just clear, practical direction on exactly what to do right now.
And after the workshop? You'll have ongoing support through our private Facebook community where you can ask questions, share wins, and get help all season long—completely free.
